Isolation, sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of the hemagglutinin, neuraminidase and nucleoprotein genes of the Chilean equine influenza virus subtypes H7N7 and H3N8

We report here on the isolation and sequencing of the hemagglutinin, neuraminidase and nucleoprotein genes of the Chilean equine influenza virus subtypes H7N7 (A/equi-1/Santiago/77, Sa77) and H3N8 (A/equi-2/Santiago/85, Sa85). The sequences obtained allowed a variability analysis, which indicated significant differences when compared with other isolates. We found that Chilean isolates are more similar to the North American variety than to European isolates. Isolate Sa77 is a good candidate for inclusion in a vaccine as it is the latest isolate of the subtype H7N7 and is probably better-adapted to the equine host. Isolate Sa85, of subtype H3N8, also appears to be a good candidate since it has no significant differences in the main antigenic sites with recent isolates.     

Temperature-sensitive mutations in various genes of Escherichia coli K12 can be suppressed by the ssrA gene for 10Sa RNA (tmRNA)

An Escherichia coli strain with a deletion in the ssrA gene that encodes 10Sa RNA (tmRNA) was used to screen for temperature-sensitive (ts) mutants whose ts phenotypes were suppressible by introduction of the wild-type ssrA gene. Mutants in four different genes were isolated. Ts mutants of this type were also obtained in a screen for mutations in thyA, the structural gene for thymidylate synthase. The ThyA activity in crude extracts prepared from the ts mutants was temperature-sensitive. The presence of the ssrA gene caused an increase in the total amount of the temperature-sensitive enzyme expressed, rather than suppressing the ts activity of the enzyme itself. SsrA-DD, a mutant form of 10Sa RNA, suppressed the ts phenotype of a thyA mutant, suggesting that degradation of a tagged peptide was not required for suppression of the ts phenotype. Considering the fact that ssrA-suppressible mutants could be isolated as temperature-sensitive mutants with mutations in different genes, it seems evident that trans-translation can occur on mRNA that is not lacking its stop codon.     

Molluscicidal saponins of Phytolacca dodecanra: Oleanoglycotoxin-A

The structure of one of the major molluscicidal saponins of the fruit of Phytolacca dodecandra has been elucidated as 3-[2,4-di-O-(β-d-glucopyranosyl)-β-d-glucopyranosyll-olean-12-ene-28-oic acid. The combined use of 300 Mc. PMR, MS and GC-MS led to this structural assignment.     

Atropurosides A-G, new steroidal saponins from Smilacina atropurpurea

Atropurosides A-G (1-7), seven new steroidal saponins, which possess new polyhydroxylated aglycones, were isolated from the rhizomes of Smilacina atropurpurea (Convallariaceae), together with a known saponin, dioscin (8). Their structures were elucidated on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analysis, including 1D and 2D NMR techniques and chemical methods. Antifungal testing of the eight compounds indicated that atropurosides B (2) and F (6) were fungicidal against Candida albicans, Candida glabrata, Cryptococcus neoformans, and Aspergillus fumigatus with minimum fungicidal concentrations (MFCs) < or = 20 microg/ml, while dioscin (8) was selectively active against C. albicans and C. glabrata (MFC < or = 5.0 microg/ml). Furthermore, the antifungal saponins 2, 6, and 8 were evaluated for their in vitro cytotoxicities in a panel of human cancer cell lines (SK-MEL, KB, BT-549, SK-OV-3, and HepG2) and non-cancerous Vero cells. All showed moderate cytotoxicities. It appears that the antifungal activity of these steroidal saponins correlates with their cytotoxicity against mammalian cells.     

Mustard seed meal mixtures: management of Meloidogyne incognita on pepper and potential phytotoxicity

Meals produced when oil is extracted from seeds in the Brassicaceae have been shown to suppress weeds and soilborne pathogens. These seed meals are commonly used individually as soil amendments; the goal of this research was to evaluate seed meal mixes of Brassica juncea (Bj) and Sinapis alba (Sa) against Meloidogyne incognita. Seed meals from Bj 'Pacific Gold' and Sa 'IdaGold' were tested alone and in combinations to determine rates and application times that would suppress M. incognita on pepper (Capsicum annuum) without phytotoxicity. Rates of soil application (% w/w) for the phytotoxicity study were: 0.5 Sa, 0.2 Bj, 0.25 Sa + 0.25 Bj, 0.375 Sa + 0.125 Bj, 0.125 Sa + 0.375 Bj, and 0, applied 0 - 5 weeks before transplant. Overall, 0.2% Bj was the least toxic meal to pepper seedlings. By comparison, 0.5% S. alba seed meal did not reduce lettuce (Lactuca sativa) seed germination at week 0, but all seed meal treatments containing B. juncea prevented or significantly reduced germination at week 0. The seed meals did not affect lettuce seed germination at weeks 1-5, but hypocotyl growth was reduced by all except 0.2% Bj at weeks 1, 4 and 5. Brassica juncea and Sa meals were tested for M. incognita suppression at 0.2, 0.15, 0.1 and 0.05%; mixtures were 0.1% Sa + 0.1% Bj, 0.15% Sa + 0.05% Bj, and 0.05% Sa + 0.15% Bj. All treatments were applied 2 weeks before transplant. The 0.2% Bj and 0.05% Sa + 0.15% Bj treatments overall had the longest shoots and highest fresh weights. Eggs per g root were lowest with 0.1 - 0.2% Bj amendments and the seed meal mixtures. The results indicate that Bj and some Bj + Sa mixtures can be applied close to transplant to suppress M. incognita populations on pepper; consequently, a seed meal mixture could be selected to provide activity against more than one pest or pathogen. For pepper, care should be taken in formulating mixtures so that Sa rates are low compared to Bj.     

Suppressor T cell recognition of major and minor histocompatibility alloantigens: selected suppression of MHC-directed responses by minor alloantigen Ts

The induction of suppression by i.v. administered alloantigens in the murine host was analyzed as a model of the possible effects of blood transfusion on transplant survival. The results indicated that suppressor T cells (Ts) specific for minor histocompatibility alloantigens could be readily induced by the i.v. presentation of minor alloantigen-disparate spleen cells. In contrast, similar priming with cells differing solely at the H-2 major histocompatibility complex stimulated only positive T cell immunity, with no evidence of suppression. The induction of H-2 directed Ts activity could be accomplished only by i.v. priming with major plus minor incompatible donor cells, suggesting that suppressor cell recognition of minor alloantigens may have facilitated the generation of Ts against H-2-encoded major transplantation antigens. A role for minor histocompatibility antigens in the regulation of H-2-specific immunity at the effector level was also indicated. Ts induced by i.v. pretreatment with minor antigen-disparate donor cells not only suppressed the delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) response to the relevant minor alloantigens, but also inhibited DTH against unrelated H-2 alloantigens introduced during subsequent intradermal immunization. Suppression of H-2-directed T cell reactivity was specific in that the presence of the Ts-inducing minor alloantigens was also required and occurred only when the minor and unrelated major alloantigens were presented within the same inoculum, if not on the same cell surface. The capacity of Lyt-2+Ts or Ts-derived suppressive factors specific for one set of cell surface molecules to modulate responses to an unrelated group of surface antigens does not appear to represent a general phenomenon, because similar suppression of immunity to unrelated tumor-specific transplantation antigens by minor-specific Ts was not observed. These results are discussed with respect to the possible mechanism of H-2-directed suppression and the role of the I region in Ts recognition of antigen.

Ocular immune responses. I. Priming of A/J mice in the anterior chamber with azobenzenearsonate-derivatized cells induces second-order-like suppressor T cells

We studied the cellular immune responses to ocular anterior chamber (AC) priming of mice. A/J mice primed subcutaneously with azobenzenearsonate-coupled spleen cells (ABA-SC) manifested delayed-type hypersensitivity (DTH) in the form of footpad swelling when challenged 5 days later with the diazonium salt of ABA. Mice inoculated with ABA-SC in the anterior chamber at the time of subcutaneous priming, however, were tolerant to ABA. Subconjunctival inoculation with ABA-SC did not tolerize; rather it primed for DTH. Antibodies against ABA were not detectable in significant amounts in mice made tolerant by AC inoculation. The AC-induced tolerance was shown to result from hapten-specific T cell-mediated suppression. Suppressor T cells (Ts) arising from AC priming suppressed the efferent limb of the immune response and did not bear detectable cross-reactive idiotype (CRI) surface receptors. In these phenotypic and functional respects, AC-induced Ts differed from first-order Ts (Ts1) that result from i.v. priming. The results are discussed with respect to immune privilege and the anterior chamber of the eye.
